\b Minimum System Requirements\

\b0 Volta requires the following Mac system: \
\
\'95 Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later \
\'95 An audio sequencer software package that hosts MAS or Audio Unit (AU) instrument plug-ins and supports multiple instrument sidechain outputs, such as Digital Performer, Logic, or Ableton Live (see below). \
\'95 An audio interface with DC-coupled outputs, such as any MOTU FireWire, USB2, or PCI audio interface with quarter-inch TRS outputs. For compatibility with third-party audio interfaces, refer to the 
\i Volta User Guide
\i0 .  \
\'95 The proper cable type for your interface. \
\'95 External audio hardware that responds to control voltage signals, such as modular analog synthesizers, vintage monosynths, etc. \
\'95 A free USB port for the iLok USB key. \
\
Generally, any recently updated AU host that supports AU instrument plug-ins with multiple sidechain outputs should work with Volta. If you're not using the current version of one of these hosts, MOTU recommends Digital Performer 5.13 or later, Logic 7.2.3 or later, and Live 7.0.16 or later. While earlier versions of these applications may work with Volta to some extent, they have not been fully tested and are not recommended. \
